LTTE attack fishermen
[22 Mar 2000]

Yesterday around 9 pm out at sea off Kokilai, 02 fishermen while fishing in the area were fired upon by the terrorists who had come in a boat similar to a Naval gun boat. 

The boat was sunk due to terrorist fire and the two fishermen managed to escape and report the incident to the Kokilai army camp. 

In Andankulam, Welioya, around 10.55 am troops in an ambush were attacked by a group of terrorists. During the brief fire fight, three terrorists were killed. Subsequently troops recovered one terrorist body along with one T 56 weapons. The other two dead bodies were not recovered due to the heavy volume of terrorist fire. The body of the dead terrorist is at Padaviya Hospital and would be handed over to the ICRC today. 

Around 1 am at Mannar town, on information troops recovered one T56 weapon, two magazines and one hand grenade. 

Around 8.30 am in Iyakachchi, Jaffna, snipers deployed along the defences killed one terrorist.  

On Tuesday, around 6.55 pm in Muhavil, Jaffna, troops sniped at and killed one terrorist.
